LAP-BAND® is totally not a cure, you have to be a workable partner in the journey! I was banded in July of this year and it is still just as difficult as before, but it is different and I am learning! I hope you get approved! But if you don't, don't give up looking for help!

I'm sorry did I miss something? Did kbrier2703 so they were looking for a cure? If so I totally agree it’s not a cure I haven't been banded yet but when I do get banded I know that I have to put as much into the band as I expect to get out of it. That’s why I'm making those mental and lifestyle changes now. I don’t think you should be so negative why don’t you think you will get approved???
